Breathing
Burning Aries Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While the world is passing by
As the storm lights the sky
I just can't get you out of my mind
And I want something I just can't have
Never felt this incomplete
In the stillness of time
And I know that We
Will never be together
But that doesnt stop Me
From dreaming about Me holding You
So close every night
That I can feel You
Breathing
I try to kill all the thoughts
Of reaching for something I just can't touch
But Your face never leaves
And now I'm right back where I was
And I toss and I turn in these sheets
Cause I dont wanna face the truth
That You're happy with Him
It hurts too bad
And I know that We
Will never be together
But that doesnt stop Me
From dreaming about Me holding You
So close every night
That I can feel You
Breathing
At last I somehow get to sleep
And You follow Me to My dreams
Where I dont have to see
That He holds You tight tonight
I just hope that he knows what he has
And I hope that he treasures you
Cause I know that I would
If I had the chance
And I know that We
Will never be
Together
But that doesnt stop Me
From dreaming about Me
Holding You
So close every night
That I can feel You
Breathing
The lyrics of Burning Aries's song "Breathing" express a deep longing for someone who is unattainable. The singer finds themselves alone on a rainy night, while the rest of the world moves on. The storm in the sky serves as a metaphor for the emotional turmoil they are experiencing. Despite their efforts, they cannot stop thinking about this person who consumes their mind. They confess the desire for something they cannot have, feeling incomplete and unable to find peace in the passage of time. Sleep evades them, leaving them restless and tormented by the fact that they can't be with the person they long for.
However, even though the singer knows that a relationship with this person is unlikely, it doesn't stop them from dreaming about holding them close every night. These dreams offer a temporary refuge from the painful reality. The lyrics reveal the singer's struggle to let go of these thoughts and accepting that the person they desire is happy with someone else. It is a constant battle between facing the truth and hoping for a different outcome.
Ultimately, the song conveys the deep emotional connection the singer feels towards this person. They are willing to continue dreaming about being with them, even though it may never become a reality. The lyrics are filled with a sense of longing, regret, and unrequited love.

Another rainy night alone
I am alone on yet another night with rain, feeling lonely and isolated
While the world is passing by
Even though the world is moving forward, I feel stuck in this moment
As the storm lights the sky
The storm outside symbolizes the tumultuous emotions I am experiencing
I just can't get you out of my mind
You occupy my thoughts constantly and I cannot stop thinking about you
And I want something I just can't have
I desire something that is unattainable to me
Never felt this incomplete
I have never felt so lacking and unfinished
In the stillness of time
During moments of silence and reflection
I cannot sleep
I am unable to find rest and peace in sleep
And I know that We
Will never be together
I understand that we will never have a chance to be in a relationship
But that doesnt stop Me
From dreaming about Me holding You
So close every night
That I can feel You
Breathing
However, this realization doesn't prevent me from fantasizing about holding you tightly every night and feeling your warm breath on my skin
I try to kill all the thoughts
Of reaching for something I just can't touch
I attempt to push away the thoughts of wanting something that is intangible and out of reach
But Your face never leaves
Your face remains ingrained in my mind and heart
And now I'm right back where I was
I find myself back in the same emotional state I was in before
And I toss and I turn in these sheets
I toss and turn restlessly in my bed, unable to find comfort
Cause I dont wanna face the truth
That You're happy with Him
It hurts too bad
I avoid accepting the reality that you are happy with someone else because the pain is too intense
At last I somehow get to sleep
Finally, I manage to fall asleep despite the turmoil
And You follow Me to My dreams
You appear in my dreams, accompanying me even in my subconscious
Where I dont have to see
That He holds You tight tonight
In these dreams, I am spared from witnessing you being held tightly by him
I just hope that he knows what he has
I hope that he recognizes and appreciates the treasure he possesses in you
And I hope that he treasures you
I wish for him to cherish and value you
Cause I know that I would
If I had the chance
Because if I had the opportunity, I would undoubtedly cherish you
And I know that We
Will never be
Together
I am fully aware that we will never have a future as a couple
But that doesnt stop Me
From dreaming about Me
Holding You
So close every night
That I can feel You
Breathing
Nevertheless, this doesn't hinder me from indulging in dreams where I hold you intimately every night, feeling the rhythm of your breath
